Project Background, Goals, and Objectives Bolivia has one of the largest informal economies in Latin America, with a significant portion of entrepreneurial activity occurring outside formal business structures. Many entrepreneurs operate small-scale businesses in sectors like retail, food services, construction, and personal services without formal registration, limiting their access to credit, legal protections, and growth opportunities. These informal businesses also face barriers to adopting modern business practices and technologies, including U.S.-based financial management tools and digital solutions that could enhance their competitiveness. By bringing businesses into the formal economy, ScaleUp Bolivia will expand the customer base for U.S. products and services, create more reliable supply chain partners for American companies, and open new markets for American technology providers and suppliers. The program will strengthen the rule of law and economic governance, reduce unfair competition in the marketplace, increase municipal tax revenues that support local development, and generate economic growth that benefits both Bolivian communities and U.S. commercial interests. Additionally, formalized businesses become better positioned to engage in international trade and adopt U.S. business standards, creating a foundation for sustained bilateral economic partnership.Project Audience(s): Primary beneficiaries should include:•Informal entrepreneurs currently operating outside the formal economy who are ready to legitimize their businesses.•Micro and small business owners...

This NOFO seeks to enhance protective measures for the supply chain of critical minerals, which are commodities of proliferation concern due to their prevalence in countless dual-use items. ACN/EXBS seeks an implementer to bolster export controls, customs screening, and investment screening across key critical mineral producers and transit states worldwide to mitigate their acquisition by U.S. adversaries, while securing supply chains from predatory and illicit practices to bolster U.S. national and economic security.

This NOFO combats China’s efforts to acquire U.S.-origin advanced technologies and control critical supply-chain nodes that enable proliferation-relevant capabilities. LOE 1 strengthens GCC governments' ability to implement U.S. AI license conditions, detect and prevent diversion of U.S.-origin advanced technologies, and counter Chinese exploitation of regional transshipment hubs. LOE 2 helps priority Western Hemisphere countries design and enforce fair, effective investment screening to block Chinese access to sensitive technologies, critical infrastructure, and minerals essential to defense supply chains. LOE 3 reinforces export controls and oversight of free trade and special economic zones across ASEAN and Mongolia to disrupt Chinese diversion of emerging and dual‑use technologies through regional trading hubs.

This NOFO addresses evolving nonproliferation threats across key nodes of the global strategic trade and technology ecosystems in Asia and Europe. In the Philippines, Cambodia, and Malaysia, the program responds to the risk that weak or incomplete export control and foreign direct investment screening systems could allow diversion of dual‑use goods, advanced technologies, and critical minerals to proliferators or malign actors. In Taiwan, it tackles the threat that persistent, sophisticated networks will exploit gaps in supply chain, financial, and logistics controls to obtain the world’s most advanced AI‑relevant semiconductors and other dual‑use technologies. In Türkiye, the program confronts documented diversion and transshipment risks posed by intermediary‑dependent trade routes and the absence of widespread private‑sector internal compliance programs that meet international expectations. In Ukraine, it addresses the heightened risk that rapidly expanding defense and dual‑use innovation, combined with intense foreign interest and limited oversight mechanisms, could lead to unauthorized tangible and intangible technology transfers and diversion of U.S.‑origin or sensitive items. Collectively, the LOEs seek to close these vulnerabilities by strengthening legal and regulatory frameworks, institutional and industry compliance, and data‑driven enforcement capabilities to prevent the proliferation of WMD‑related, defense, and other sensitive technologies to end‑users and activities of concern.
